I would like to redesign this area. When we bought the home 8 years ago the original owner had a landscape company design the front yard. I just feel this area is way to large. The tree soaks up all of the water so literally nothing can grow close to it. We have some knockout roses around the lamppost and flower garden roses in the middle.
I am worried about putting down grass seed here because of how it would look. Any new ideas would be appreciated!
